NEW DELHI: The Delhi Secretariat received an email on Thursday reporting a bomb threat, officials stated. A search operation was promptly launched, and as of now, no suspicious items have been found.
The email contained a threat concerning the presence of a bomb on the premises, which prompted the Secretariat officials to immediately notify the police.
Upon receiving the information, police and fire brigade teams, along with a bomb squad and a dog squad, arrived at the scene to conduct a thorough search.
"Currently, nothing suspicious has been found, " the police said.
Additionally, according to the officials, the email mentioned the term 'Khalistan'.
The search is still underway while officials continue to investigate the source of the email.
This incident comes close on the heels of a security breach at the Delhi Assembly earlier this week, when a man rammed through a high-security gate.
